Many people, including some policemen, believe eye contact is a good test of honesty.If someone cant look at you directly in the eye, then he or she is not playing honestly, they insist. After many experiments, however, a number of experts have found out that good liars can make false eye contact. Eye contact, though not a sure sign of dishonesty, is a clear way to show interest in another person. When a person looks at you and continues to do so, you know his attention is placed on you. When he turns his head away, his mind is probably elsewhere. But there are exceptions. A shy person may have trouble making and keeping eye contact, no matter how interested he is in the other person. And certain nationalities, such as the British and Germans, are much less oriented to eye-to-eye contact than, say, the French and the Arabs. Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Have short periods of eye contact while you watch other parts of the persons face especially the mouth. When the person smiles, be sure to smile back. But always make an effort to return your gaze to the persons eyes as she speaks. It is common to look up, down, and all around when speaking to others, and not have eye contact at all times. Too much eye contact, especially if it is forced, can work against you. If you stare at a person, or leer in a suspicious way, the other person may feel uncomfortable and even suspicious about your intent. A fixed stare can seem like aggressive behavior if it is a challenge as to who will look away first. 共5题(1) Many people believe that eye contact is a sign of _.(A)honesty (B)dishonesty (C)attention (D)A and C 你选择的答案：D正确正确答案：D(2) According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?(A)Eye contact is a way to show interest in another person.
